Nikon Bob | New Nikon Gear

Nikon Bob is keeping us in the loop by sending us some literature on Nikon's new D300s, now with D-Movie capabilities (sweat!) and a whole bunch of other goodies under the hood.

This along with a New D3000 entry level camera and a few very interesting lenses the AF-S Nikkor 7-200mm f/2.8 VR II and the DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 ED VR II.

Check out what is new at Nikon Canada for all the specs.

Emerging Photographer Series

As I am sure you are all aware we have begun a series of videos focusing on second year students and their personal projects called The Emerging Photographer Series. Our first video focused on Thomas Dagg who was gracious enough to let us film him photographing us for his Multitude series.

As the school year approaches and the faculty start back to work we are beginning to look for more subjects for this series, we do have some stipulations though:

1. We are looking for students who are actively producing personal work.
2. We are also looking to film you on location during a shoot, so both you and your subject(s) must be willing to be recorded and published online, so model or location releases are needed.
   

Submissions will be reviewed by faculty and because this is an extra curricular activity for both the student and faculty it will be subject to the availability of the faculty.

Please submit, via email, a sample of your personal work and a brief overview of the nature of the work.

Please Submit To: machinj@algonquincollege.com
Deadline: None
